KENS Cares: Donate to the Bill's Elves Toy Drive to give children a little extra holiday cheer

We need your help to make sure thousands of disadvantaged kids in the San Antonio area get a Christmas toy this year!

CALLING ALL OF BILL'S ELVES!

KENS 5 and Weather Chief Bill Taylor are hosting the annual Bill’s Elves Holiday Toy Drive to collect toys and donations for underserved children in San Antonio.

Many of these children come from homes where there is no Christmas, no presents, no tree. The Bill’s Elves Toy Drive is one small way we can give back to our community!

Become one of Bill's Elves and make a difference for a local child! Thanks to your generous donations, we can make this Christmas one to be remembered.

When it comes to community, KENS Cares!
